2x Neodym magnets. 17mm x 4mm x 3mm. The magnets will press into the slots, no glue needed.
Purchased from here: https://share.temu.com/clhbsntXS0A

OR

1x 20x10x2 magnet. (Choose this version in the print profile).

Optimised and tested print profile:

I have made several prints of this prototyp and my designer print profile has been optimised for overall printing quality using PLA. I used the Smooth PEI Plate / High Temp Plate without glue. The print settings include adaptive layer height to maintain optium quality on the curves of the model.

If you are having problems finding magnets let me know and perhaps I can edit the design to fit your magnet. Alternativly, in Bambu Slicer you could added a cube to the size of your magnet (+0.1mm) and make it a negative part to cut to your own size.

Your feedback is greatly appeciated. Thanks.

one of my fav prints to date. if you do roofing this makes doing the hangers so much easier. if anything it also makes it quicker. also saves your thumbs against the hammer in those pain in the ar*e spots. really great idea

@jaywehner

That link to the magnets doesn't go anywhere for me. and i searched Amazon, TEMU and Alliexpress and can't find that size. Any idea where I can get them?

@OzButcher78

It took me a while to find them again too. Try searching for: 17mm*4mm*3mm magnet This is how I found them on Temu. I'll try some links again: Temu: https://share.temu.com/iVB39uYYujA
